Roof Mounted Aircon (1 Viewer)

[Paul Wilkins]

Afternoon All.
Has anyone with an Autograph II had a roof mounted aircon unit fitted to their MH? I'm looking at a Truma Comfort unit which weighs in at 33kg. Thinking to replace the roof light in the kitchen area. I'm not worried about the payload as the van is uprated to 4t. Spoke to a local dealer who has said they have to refer to Bailey as they've not installed one before (alarm bells ringing already).

Anyone out there basking in a cool gentle breeze?

Have you looked on YouTube as lots have done and recorded it.

Sorry.. I haven't been clear. My main question/concern is will a 33kg unit be a problem on the roof in that position on the van.

According to Bailey.. it can't be done.

If it cannot be done,? Have you considered a Maxxfan as an alternative...we motorhome in Spain all year ...fitting the fan is a great help in the warmer months....

You are very welcome....Maxxfan have many advantages, which in the way we use our van are very welcome..
1,We live in a hot country.
2, Don't use campsites too often.
3, Don't need hook-up...we are a Lithium convert.
4,Sleeping in the van extracting warm air or introducing cool air is wonderful.
5, Much cheaper than buying an aircon unit...our apartment has 3 aircon units....our ceiling fans works well in keeping us cool when we are at home...the motorhome cooking is based on our experience at home...
6, I rest my case.....
